Week 4:The Beauty of the Mission

I recently traveled to Mission San Juan Capistrano and it was beautiful! The weather was perfect and there was not too large of a crowd so we could take our time going through the exhibits. My boyfriend was taking pictures of the mission with his handy, dandy camera and snapped this of me. We were standing in an outside, covered walkway in the back end of the courtyard.

The courtyard was filled with green grass, cacti plants, vibrant colored flowers, trees lusciously filled with green leaves, blossomed bushes that housed humming birds and a large fountain filled with water plants and Koi fish. The mission grounds were filled with so much history and have been well kept as a place for remembrance.

The day we traveled there was absolutely beautiful. It was a slightly cold temperature but the sun warmed our bodies as we weaved through the grounds. The sun brightened the greenery and made the diverse colors of the plants shine. The Vitamin D lightened people’s moods and warmed their heart as they looked at the vibrant courtyard landscape. Birds, squirrels, and other critters ran around the property to bask in the warm light. In my opinion, the sun was a necessary ingredient when I traveled to Mission San Juan Capistrano because of the beauty it brought to life. It added a special touch of splendor to this historic masterpiece.
